Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, house of the king! For judgment is coming against you all. You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread over Tabor.
司祭，你們你們應信這話! 以色列家，留心細聽! 王室，側耳傾聽! 審判是為你們行的，因為你們的是米茲帕的圈套，是大博爾山上張開的羅網。
2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter, but I will punish all of them.
他們在史廷掘深了陷阱，但是我卻要完全懲治他們。
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, now you have become like a prostitute; Israel is defiled.
我認識厄弗辣因，因你行了淫，以色列玷污了自己。
4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to God, for the mind of adultery is in them, and they do not know Yahweh.
他們的行為不能使他們歸向天主，因為邪淫的心神潛伏在他們內，致使他們不認識天主。
5 The pride of Israel testifies against him; so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt; and Judah also will stumble with them.
以色列的傲氣呈現他們臉上，厄弗辣因因自己的罪孽而，連猶大也與他們一同跌倒。
6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
縱使他們牽牛帶羊去尋求上主，但仍然尋不著，因為衪早已遠離了他們。
7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh, for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields.
他們背叛了上主，由此他們生了私生子。看，毀滅者必要併舌他們和他們的基業。
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven: 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
你們要在基貝亞吹角，在辣瑪吹號，在貝特阿文 發出驚報，本雅明便要驚惶失措。
9 Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I have declared what is certain to happen.
在懲罰之日，厄弗辣因將變成一片荒涼；對以色列各支派，我要宣告一件實有的事
10 The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone. I will pour my wrath on them like water.
猶大的首領行事好像是挪移地界的人，所以我要在他們身上發洩卜憤怒，有如倒水一樣。
11 Ephraim is crushed; he is crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked after idols.
厄弗辣因強硬蠻橫，破壞了正義，因為他樂意隨跟送」虛無」。
12 So I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah.
由此我對厄弗辣因將像是一個蠹魚，對猶大家將像是一個蛀蟲。 1的創傷
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and Judah sent messengers to the great king. But he was not able to cure you people or heal your wound.
厄弗辣因發現了自己的疾病，猶大看見了自己的創傷，厄弗辣因便去了亞述，猶大遣使往謁大王；可是他不能醫治你們，也不能治愈你們身上的創傷。
14 So I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry them off, and there will be no one to rescue them.
因為我對厄弗辣因要像是一隻獅子，對猶大家要像是一隻壯獅；的確，我必撕碎，然後退去；我要 把掠物帶走，誰也不能挽救。
15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, until they earnestly seek me in their distress.”
我要去，要回到我的原處，直到他們受了罰，而我的的聖容為止。在他們遇到困難時，他們必要我：
